  • I can be logically inferred. Select the correct combination from the options provided. Passage: The Governor-General, acting on the advice of the Prime Minister, has the authority to summon and dissolve the Federal Parliament. A formal proclamation marks the commencement of a session, leading to the "Address-in-Reply" where the priorities of the administration are discussed in the Senate chamber. While a session is usually terminated by prorogation, which clears the notice paper of all pending business, it does not end the life of the Parliament itself. Only dissolution brings a Parliament to a definitive end, necessitating a writ for a general election to fill the seats of the House of Representatives. Under the constitution, the House of Representatives must expire three years from its first meeting if not dissolved earlier. Statements: I. The Prime Minister holds the absolute constitutional power to dissolve Parliament without any other authority's involvement. II. Prorogation and dissolution have different impacts on the status of pending legislative business and the requirement for a general election. III. The legislative body described in the passage consists of more than one distinct house or chamber.
A Only I
B Only II
C Only III
D Only II and III
E All I, II, and III
